Born and raised on the mighty Miramichi, Ron left home to pursue post-secondary education at St. Francis Xavier University, only to return to New Brunswick to further his bachelor degree in Arts at St. Thomas University. After years “kicking rubber” between the pipes for the Tommies, earning the notorious nickname “the Cat”, Ron graduated and was accepted to Law School at the University of New Brunswick.

Upon graduation, Ron was called to the New Brunswick Bar Association in 1980.

With a passion for the law and a desire to defend those innocent until proven guilty, Ron’s reputation to defend those criminally charged surpasses all others.

With a lengthy legal career in Criminal Law, Ron initially formed a 23 year partnership, Roach and Morris based in Oromocto, NB. Continuing his legal career, Ron joined J. William Cabel over 13 years ago in Fredericton, NB. He is counsel to The Burke Law Group since 2016.

Ron received the King’s Counsel (K.C.) designation in 2006 for his long-standing service, commitment and excellence in the practice of law.

Although hockey skates and baseball cleats have long been retired, Ron now enjoys a good read, watching the Red Sox and attending sci-fi conventions with grandson Gabe. Ron and his wife, Yvette, reside on Fredericton’s Northside.
